Readers Choice 3

I reckon it’s time to feature another Audie Murphy western and I’ve narrowed it down to two options. Seeing as it’s been a while since I offered readers a chance to cast a vote for what they’d like to see, I thought it was a good opportunity to run a poll. The choice is between Tumbleweed (1953) and Ride a Crooked Trail (1958). I’ll leave the poll open until midnight on Saturday and will go with the majority decision. Take your pick people.

There’s a lot of good stuff in Murphy’s career. I’d say all his westerns are enjoyable on some level but I’m particularly fond of The Unforfiven, No Name on the Bullet, Seven Ways from Sundown, Walk the Proud Land, and I have to say Night Passage has risen considerably in my estimation in the last year or two.
